Chapter 2080: The Orthodox Branch (1/2)

Freesky’s group naturally didn’t answer Sword’s invitation. Ambus.h.i.+ng the academy is only an internal conflict between the hundred races for treasures. It was shameful but still in accordance with the rules of this world.

But if they were to join the Celestial Court, then they would become true traitors to the hundred races. Their descendants would forever live in infamy so they couldn’t go that far.

“Even if the Immortal Emperors do not represent the hundred races, neither does your group!” Lifepeach Immortal Monarch said: “Our hundred races are humiliated to have members like you, betraying your own academy.”

“Oh, then the leaders are your Mysterious Bamboo Mountain and Archaic Repository then?” Freesky ignored the matter of the academy and said: “No need to accuse each other of anything in this dog-eat-dog world. Winners will take all while losers earn the privilege of death! Our world is cruel and no one alone can speak for the hundred races, not Immortal Emperors, Archaic Repository, or Mysterious Bamboo…”

“I can represent the hundred races!” Li Qiye interrupted him coldly: “In both the nine worlds and the thirteen continents, if one must ask about the orthodox branch for our races, then my answer is Celestial!”

Having said that, he stared coldly at all the emperors here. Everyone held their breath without retorting due to the conviction in his voice!

In fact, upon careful consideration, the academy was indeed the right candidate to be considered the main branch of the hundred races. It had groomed many powerful beings; some of them even left behind their legacies at the academy.

More importantly, it was essentially an educational inst.i.tution, unlike the other lineages and clans. It didn’t partic.i.p.ate in power struggle and politics; this made it special and neutral in the hundred races.

For millions of years now, it only focused on producing talents, not to reign over the world or steal resources. This was indeed the answer in everyone’s mind. If the academy didn’t dare to claim this spot, no other sects would have the mind to do so.

“Celestial is the cradle and the very foundation of the hundred races. Kill all those who dare to conspire against it for they are the enemies of the entire hundred races, no matter who they are!” Li Qiye declared.

This statement wasn’t refutable by even a twelve-will emperor. Moreover, there was only one of them among the hundred races - Yi Ye, and he was certainly on the academy’s side.

Before the great battle, he had made it clear before everyone and re-established the academy’s status.

Even World Emperor only sat there and watched. Of course, he thought that this was an internal issue of the hundred races.

“Quell internal chaos before dealing with external threats! Time to kill the traitors!” Li Qiye ordered while glaring at Freesky Immortal Monarch.

Even an eleven-will emperor like himself felt suffocated and took one step backward! It was as if the guy had declared a death sentence on him!

“Sacred Teacher, even you can’t be the arbitrator of life and death!” Nevertheless, he wouldn’t back down so easily and took a deep breath.

“Freesky, it looks like the hundred races don’t consider you as part of their group, it’s not too late to work together with us now or don’t think about leaving this place alive. Just capture the academy and subdue them all, then you’ll be the orthodox branch!” Sword Emperor smiled and said.

Freesky slightly raised his brows after hearing this without being too expressive. Of course, he certainly shared this thought. This was indeed a tempting request.

If he were to ma.s.sacre Li Qiye and the Immortal Emperors present on top of the academy, then one battle would change the politics of the continents and the fate of the hundred races.

This would ultimately result in his sect possessing an unreachable status in Arrogance. The academy would be no more afterward - same with Mysterious Bamboo and Archaic Repository.

It would be time for Freesky to reign. Plus, it was relatively safe because the three races right now required powerful allies like them as well - ones that could keep the rest of the hundred races under control.
